Uzun Liman lies on the SE of Zeytinli Ada and on the S of point; Babuş Burnu. The bay indents to the east for about 1000 m, narrows and ends by a pool. The entry is about 130 m wide and it makes a large bay after the entry. Laced coves in the bay are fully covered by pine trees.
The beach side affords all-round shelter. Drop anchor in 8 – 10 meters and get a line ashore. There are laced coves on the beach side, separated by the tips. Boats can drop anchor in these bights in 10 – 15 meters and take a line ashore.
All these bights have very nice surroundings. A low bank extends to middle and hosts reedy shores; this shallowness can not be recognized from the distance. Northern shores of the bay are deep.
The cove gets narrower and ends by a circular pool, hidden behind the tip. The depths get less then 2 m and shelves to the shore where filled with long reeds. Local fishing boats anchor here. This side is known as Saklı Liman.
A footpath adjoins forest path from Küfre and it goes to Değirmanyanı 11 km by Datça-Marmaris highway. The settings are impressive.
